Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

On the train today I found the passive noise reduction of the Status Between Pro better than the ANC of the Galaxy Buds Pro.

So enjoyed a ride into the office listening to the Between Pro.

Not sure if anyone listens to music by Steve Roach but listening to the album Mantrum really shows off the imaging and sound stage of the Between Pro. The album is New Age/Ambient so very chill and relaxed and between the deep drums and the overall sense of soundscape made for an excellent half hour ride .

How long did it take you guys to hear back from CA after submitting a rma request? I submitted on Tuesday for the MT and haven't heard back yet from them.

Probably been asked before, so forgive me: but are there differences soundwise between the Melomania Touch and the One Plus?

Double post

Think I had to send a friendly reminder. If you still don't get a response by Monday, might be worth using that CEO email and explaining that the ZenDesk process isn't working as efficiently as it should.

I really want to order the MW08S. They are just so premium. I did not enjoy the sq of the MW08 initially and returned them for too much bass. Any reason for me to give them another chance? Will they come close to the pI7? Or am I wasting my money? Anyone with both care to provide impressions?

Sony WF-1000XM4 with the latest firmware, Fiio BTA30 (LDAC) and these APO EQ settings... sounds very good!
A little strange Sony don't use a tuning more similar to this, and not that dark and little muddy sound signature for their XM4s (both WF and WH actually).

Can you post your csv file so I can try it in wavelet? Thanks

Finally, Windows 11 Beta has rolled out, with Bluetooth AAC codec support! Now I can say goodbye to the crappy SBC bitpool of the Galaxy Buds+. It sounds much clearer, though I do find the treble a bit peaky (which may just be in my head or due to other factors).

I do wonder if anyone can confirm if Windows 10 21H2 has it too. It was initially slated and included in the preview channel build for Win10 but they quickly jumped to Win11 but as many devices can't be updated I wonder if AAC support will only be on Win11.

Wasn't there a periodic update in Win10 that brought in aptX?



I mean it's the word of a Microsoft tech, but take it for what it's worth. If AAC is new, though, awesome.

AptX came with the launch of Win10, but might not be supported on all drivers.

Been enjoying the XM4's that arrived today.

They fixed the 3 things that most bothered me about the XM3:
Fit is now good with the much smaller earpieces.
Case is now small enough to pocket carry (fits 5th pocket of my jeans).
Qi/wireless charging.


I did have to swap tips, as I have small shallow ears, for a better fit (and possibly sound?).

Left: de-cored aftermarket APP foam tips.
Right: Sony XM4 foam tips.

I don't find any options to export as csv with Peters EQ APO. Only XML?

It's not "strange", it's just that some call "dark and muddy" - "warm and musical", and find that stock tuning more natural. Didn't listen to the WF, but I had the WH XM4 and I like its stock tunning better than the WH XM3 which had bloated bass and an artificial "digital" spike in the highs. So it looks like I wouldn't like your eq with the body sucked out of vocals and the increased highs. Everyone likes different signatures, nothing strange about it, and I'm glad that we have options and not every earphone sounds "clear" and with "great detail retrieval".

I like the xm4 frequency response because there isn't any big peak or dip. They are very tunable using stock equalizer. I returned the PI7, too many flaws and tinny (although detailed) treble to my ears, and I couldn't stop coming back to wavelet. Got xm4 equed in a couple days. I will miss the b&w mainly because they were super comfy and with awesome mids.
